What would be the effect of the Seliwanoff's test on insulin?

Seliwanoff's test is primarily used to distinguish between aldose and ketose sugars based on their reactivity with resorcinol under acidic conditions. Insulin itself does not directly affect the outcome of this test, as it is not a sugar but a peptide hormone. However, insulin's role in glucose metabolism could influence blood sugar levels, indirectly affecting the concentration of sugars that may be tested using the Seliwanoff's method. Overall, insulin's effect on carbohydrate metabolism would not change the fundamental characteristics of the sugars tested by this method.
